The stakes are high this time with the end of the world as we know it at risk. It’s all explained before the opening credits even roll and after the film’s end it still makes no sense but that’s part of the fun. Hardy who carries with him a reputation for achieving a certain level of seriousness is a lot of fun to watch as the ever-unwinding human caught with this unwanted passenger.

Chiwetel Ejiofor relishes the chance to play military hard-man Rex Strickland and with a name like that, you know there will be some major heroics on display. His seriousness is only matched by the silliness of the script (one that Hardy helped to write) and that is how it should be. The Marvel Universe is already overflowing with way too many severe stiffs and the humour on display here is more than welcome.

Never presented on the serious side of the MCU, the Venom character with its manic energy feels right paired with an actor of equal intensity and Hardy brings something special to the role. His influence on the script is also felt in a more well-rounded and emotional presentation of the Venom character. It’s still silly to the extreme but knowing that going in rewards the viewer with some excellent escapist entertainment.

Four lives intertwine amid the hustle and bustle of 1950s Coney Island in Woody Allen’s Wonder Wheel, a searing tale of passion and betrayal. There’s Ginny (Kate Winslet), an emotionally volatile former actress now working as a waitress; Humpty (Jim Belushi), Ginny’s rough-hewn carousel operator husband; Mickey (Justin Timberlake), a handsome young lifeguard; and Carolina (Juno Temple), Humpty’s long-estranged daughter, who is hiding out from gangsters at her father’s apartment. Kate Winslet is magnificent in this gorgeous, bittersweet romance, lensed by master cinematographer Vittorio Storaro, who saturates Wonder Wheel with colour and light to create a lush, visual delight.

Directed by Woody Allen and starring Kate Winslet, Justin Timberlake, Jim Belushi and Juno Temple – IN CINEMAS DECEMBER 07

“Kate Winslet is stunning in Woody Allen’s gorgeous ’50s romance. Winslet delivers her most powerful, emotionally resonant performance in more than a decade. It’s among the very best moments in her extensive career.” IndieWire

“Kate Winslet shines. A classy showcase for Kate Winslet’s dramatic range in a part, not dissimilar to Blanchett’s, that should bring her a raft of awards nominations.” Screen Daily

““Wonder Wheel” is a kaleidoscope of lights and delights with best-in-class cinematography, perfect casting and impeccable period detail. Kate Winslet has rarely been better in a part that lets her talent unfurl and bloom in new ways. The most visually stunning film of the director’s decades-long career. Entirely beautiful.” The Playlist
